Computer resources within IMDEX/Cascabel include digitizing
tables, engineering plotters and AutoCad, MapInfo and Techbase software
packages for any kind of computerization of map data and/or
presentation of geological or geochemical data in plan or
section. A full-time "Gerente de Informatic", or
computer geologist is on staff in Cascabel's Hermosillo office
to handle all aspects of data manipulation and management.

IMDEX/Cascabel has developed a computerized bibliography of
geology and mining of Mexico, MEXBIB 2.0, which contains over
40,000 references including a lot of the
"gray-literature", or hard-to-find references and
unpublished manuscript files in Spanish and English. For example,
the complete open-file holdings of the Consejo de Recursos
library are included, as are the index to the UC Bancroft
Collection, the Anaconda Mexican Files and other relevant
personal manuscript collections in the International Archive of
Economic Geology in Laramie, Wyoming (i.e. Thayer Lindsley,
Augustus Locke, Ira B. Joralemon etc.). Presently, MEXBIB 2.0 is
for sale as a stand-alone product using a Windows database
platform: SuperBase (included in price). Efforts are presently
being made to develop a revised MEXBIB into an Internet-accessible searchable bibliographic resource on a pay
per search and/or per citation basis. (This may take a while.)

On consignment, IMDEX/Cascabel will do detailed property or
district-scale research including copies of any references, maps
etc. When combined with up-to-date Land Research available
through Minera Cascabel, these work-ups are often a fast-track to
what's happened previously and what is presently happening at a
given property.
